![]() I’m already going nuts in the theater! High fiving my friend and fellow Eagles fan Justin and yelling at the world that doubted Carson Wentz’s deep ball. I once again crowbar a mention about Tarik Cohen in as we go over late breaking line movements and injury news.ġ0:00 AM – We make our way to football central, this awesome movie theater the Westgate has where you can watch all the games at the same time and start drinking as soon as the games kick.ġ0:10 AM – Only four minutes into the game Carson Wentz scrambles around the pocket and connects for a deep touchdown to Nelson Agholor. The Day In Las Vegasĩ:00 AM – Ryan and I do our Pregame show from our suite at the Westgate. The podcasts were in the books and we headed out to Las Vegas for our annual first NFL weekend in Vegas trip with our familiar brand of optimism about our locks. They were exhausted from me talking about Cohen, but as a gambler, there is nothing more powerful than a hunch and I had one. You can listen to Ryan and Pina laughing at me for my Tarik Cohen pick. DEF – PHI – Again, a homer play, but PHI had scored defensive TDs in the two previous games against the Skins and I thought they had one more in them.All offseason leading up to the kickoff, I had been reading how CHI planned to use him as a WR and couldn’t wait to play him in a lineup. FLEX – Tarik Cohen – This guy was my gem.He was a sub $4,000 TE, provided tremendous value, and was on the Eagles - which is another winning strategy I picked up. TE – Zach Ertz – This was before Zach Ertz really broke out.WR – DeAndre Hopkins – A top tier WR that ate up a bunch of my budget but I was confident would get me results.WR – Amari Cooper – Again, seemed like the primary weapon on a team with few and a good matchup overall.WR – Antonio Brown – Remember the days when AB was dominating on the Steelers and the Browns sucked? He was my big money play.RB – Theo Riddick – Love taking pass catching RBs in DraftKings, the PPR points really make a difference.Plus, I wrote his episode of Ridiculousness and he let me take a photo with him. RB – LeSean McCoy – He had a great matchup against the Jets and was Buffalo’s only offensive weapon.QB – Carson Wentz – Was it a homer pick? Sure, but also he was super cheap, playing a Redskins team he really knew well, and I loved how he finished the season.The lineup I released on the podcast and played week one of the 2017 NFL season was a life altering experience. You’re allocated a budget to put together your lineup, the players expected to have better games cost more and the lesser known players or those facing bad matchups cost much less. Every week during the NFL season myself, Ryan Kramer and Christian Pina give out our lineups for DraftKing’s Millionaire Maker, if you’re not familiar with it’s their weekly Daily Fantasy Football competition where the winner get $1 million dollars and then the prizes drop off after that.
